Angiiia^ BRITISH ICHNEUMONS. 185 



10. croceipes, Marsh. 



Limncria croceipes, Marshall, I':.]\I.M. 1S76, p. 194 ; Bridg. -Fitch, Entom 1SS5, 

 p. 105. ? . 



Somewhat shining, alulaceous, finely sericeous and black. Head trans- 

 verse and posteriorly constricted, witli the eyes internally hardly enuirgin- 

 ate; mandibles, mouth and palj)i stramineous. Antennal scape rufescent 

 beneath. Thorax alutaceous; metathorax rugulose and not excavate, 

 with costulae obsolete. Abdomen with the postpetiole transverse and a 

 little convex; the second segment not longer than broad, with pellucid 

 gastrocoeli; terebra shortly exserted, testaceous, rcflexed and not higher 

 than abdomen. Legs pale flavous, with anterior coxae basally red and 

 their femora subfulvidous ; hind coxae and femora black, their tibiae 

 apically infuscate-red. Wings with the stigma infuscate; areolet entirely 

 wanting, apical radial abscissa straight; nervellus not geniculate. Length, 

 6 mm. 9 only. 



This species is said to be allied, in Holmgren's table, to A. txartolaia, 

 Ratz., simply on account of its lacking areolet. 



The locality is corrected from Cadder Wilderness to Kingussie {/ib. cil. 

 p. 228). 



11. pusio, Holiugr.

 Thorns. O.E. xi. 1165, ? . Nythobia pusio, Schm. Opusc. Ichn. 1647, ? . 



Head subbuccate and not constricted posteriorly, with the face trans- 

 verse, clypeus apically rounded, mandibles narrow and teeth equal, eyes 

 not internally emarginate; palpi and mandibles flavidous. Antennae 

 filiform, longer than head and thorax, and not apically attenuate. Thorax 

 somewhat longer than high ; metathorax rugose, with acute carinae ; 

 areola apically incomplete, costulae wanting. Abdomen apically com- 

 pressed and black, with apical margin of the short second segment and 

 lateral marks on the subquadrate third red ; basal segment somewhat 

 short and stout, with pospetiole convex, subquadrate and nearly double 

 breadth of petiole ; terebra hardly at all exserted. Anterior legs testa- 

 ceous, their coxae black with apices, and trochanters, pale flavous ; inter- 

 mediate femora sometimes basally infuscate; hind tarsi, apices and a mark 

 before base of their tibiae, with both coxae and trochanters, nigrescent; 

 hind femora piceous or nigrescent, usually basally paler ; tibiae centrally 

 whitish, as is base of tarsi. Stigma infuscate, tegulae pale; areolet want- 

 ing. Length, 3-4 mm, 9 only. 



1 do not know this species and do not believe it to be British. Schmie- 

 deknecht has utilised one of Fiirster's genera for it, though that is said to 

 differ from Diodes only in its lacking metanotal costulae, which in D. 

 KlisJiae are obsolete or wanting. In fact, it is only because Thomson knew 

 both species, and distinguished them by the centrally red-marked abdo- 

 men and shorter terebra of the present, that 1 regard A. Klishac as distinct. 



This is one of the smallest species of Augiiia and was first taken by 

 Boheman in Sweden, where Thomson later found it at Lund; Schm. met 

 with a few specimens in Thuringia, and it is recorded by (Jaulle from 

 France. I have seen nothing like it, but Bridgman introduces it (Trans. 

 Knt. Soc. 1882, p. 153) as British on the strength of two males — which 

 he failed to describe — and a female from Marshall's collection, without 

 locality. N2
